History of the Internet Lesson
Learning objectives
In this lesson, students will learn how the internet developed from Cold War research into a worldwide network by tracing key steps such as ARPANET, packet switching, TCP/IP, DNS, and the World Wide Web. Students will also learn how newer developments such as social media, mobile internet, cloud services, and modern data laws changed how people communicated, worked, and handled personal information online. Students will have the opportunity to achieve this through choosing their own method of learning, from reading and research options, as well as the chance to engage in extension activities. This lesson includes a self-marking quiz for students to demonstrate their learning.
